Hello All,
GREAT weekend this past weekend! Okemo 2 was able to re-claim the boot with Okemo 1 right on their heels! We were very proud of all of the kids for their individual performances!
We are now moving into a long set of GS training in preparation for our next race, which will be a GS at Suicide Six on Sunday, February 26th. I will send all pertinent details out for that race at the end of next week.
As for this weekend and the upcoming week of President’s week, we will be training at home according to our normal schedule: 8:30-10:30 am/12 – 2 pm. Meeting at the top of the AB Quad am and pm.
We will train Saturday – Tuesday (2/18 – 2/21), take Wednesday OFF, train Thursday – Saturday (2/23 – 2/5), and race on Sunday 2/26. GS skis each day, please! We completely understand if your child is not here during the week next week – we know some schools don’t have a vacation and some parents cannot take off work – so no worries. Also be sure to have your child take an extra day off if they need it – we do not want to go into Sunday exhausted!!!
On another note, please remember there are two fun events (for parents
!) coming up on the next two Saturdays!
This coming Saturday, February 18th from 7-10 pm in the Main Base Lodge is the OMS Winter Festival, which is a huge fundraiser for the school. Please see the invitation on the omara homepage - it is a very fun evening of wine and cheese tasting and anyone is welcome, so please bring friends! There also is a great Silent Auction with items such as an African Safari up for bid! I will have tickets on Saturday on the hill if you want to track me down!
Also, on Saturday 2/24 is the 10th annual Comedy Night hosted by Vermont Properties from which OMS will recieve half of the proceeds. “The Logger” will be the comedian and he is very funny! I will also have those tickets on me over the next week or so if you want to snag some in advance – this show does sell out every year!!
That’s all for now!
Thanks,
Mariel
